The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority walked in the Las Vegas Aces’ locker room Friday with a bit of a surprise.
“Today we want to do something new,” LVCVA president Steve Hill said as he addressed Aces players. “Something I don’t think anybody’s ever done before. We want to recognize you individually. We want to put some money in your pocket. “We’ve got an offer for you. … We would like to offer each of you, individually, a sponsorship this year in the amount of $100,000.” “The offer is really simple,” Hill said. “We want you to just play, keep repping Las Vegas. And if you get a three-peat, that will be icing on the cake.”
This is a landmark type of deal for the Las Vegas Aces, deals like this are normally from corporate giants such as Nike, Adidas, Puma. This deal is from a local business which makes this deal very special.
